'Very rare': Hegseth landing at LAX in Trump's 'Doomsday plane' sets off firestorm online

1d 3h ago by lemmy.world/u/just_another_person in politics from www.rawstory.com

An aircraft specifically designed to survive a nuclear disaster and carry President Donald Trump was seen landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Thursday night — and reports indicate Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and MAGA influencer Laura Loomer were apparently on it. The Boeing E-4 Adv...

Every time I read "secretary of war" I have to laugh. It exudes so much small dick energy! How insecure you have to be to rename the dept of defense to dept of war just so it sounds "tougher"?

Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Large Penile Strength and Karate and WAR

Secretary of Chuck Norris

I know he is an asshole, but I miss Chuck Norris jokes.

They were never funny, but they were not funny in a simpler time.

Next years official title

Pete Hegseth - secretary of kickin ass and not being drunk in the hottest whitest no fattys or beardos hemisphere on earth also I didn't assault any women

No legitimate media should ever use that term. It's illegitimate.

I get that perspective. However, it is important to know that the department of defense from 2 years ago is not the same as the the department of war today. It has been systematically changed to give the regime more power. It has made defense industries war industries. And it is ready to be deployed against US citizens.

We need to understand that this change has actually happened.

It's just an acronym for Whiskey And Rape.

More like whiskey dick energy.

Imagine being so insecure that even when some gives you the biggest dick on the planet, and carte blanche to swing it however you want, you still have to compensate by shouting into a megaphone about how big your dick is.

Probably why the guy drinks so much.

They figured "Ministry of Peace" was too on-the-nose, even for them.

But war is peace, so.....

Secretary of War Crimes

Everything about that guy screams micropeen.

I know there's a lot of really scary stuff happening with this administration right now, and I really don't want to seem dismissive of that (its certainly scaring the shit out of me), but honestly, this just seems like Hegseth wanted to ride in the cool plane cos it makes his peepee feel big. Not sure we should read any more into it. If something big was going to go down, it would be Trump on the "doomsday plane".

If something big was going to go down, it would be Trump on the "doomsday plane".

Would they actually tell him though? Would be real easy to get a promotion by ordering the destruction of the WH and Pentagon while being in the bomb proof plane.

Everything he does and says is basically what an 8 or 9 year old thinks is cool.

Which one? Little Petey or Taco?

My guess is there's a reason this plane is rarely (if ever) seen by the public. Other administrations probably realize that you shouldn't parade your most important assets around for potential adversaries to study, but oh well, here we are.

It's literally virtue signaling, taking that particular plane implies they're ready for war be it South America or Greenland.

Ore like vice signaling.

A little bit of doomsday sounds a bit too appetizing right about now.

How can an aircraft survive a Nuclear attack?

I believe it's just heavily shielded to prevent EMP from destroying all the electronic surfaces in it. If I remember correctly, it's outfitted with a ton of comms equipment that duplicate central systems on the ground, so should they be destroyed, this thing just takes off and continuously refuels and flies to prevent getting destroyed, and it keeps military comms running so they can keep launching nukes or whatever.
